‘VICTORIA EMBANKMENT’ the original by Colin Ruffell…

About originals.

*** QUALITY ***

Original paintings are unique one-off works of art.

Original paintings maintain quality and value for future generations.

An International Certificate of Authenticity is available.

Collectors and patrons who buy direct from the artist will ensure that their correct details are saved in the artist’s records.

*** COLLECTABLE ***

The status of original work is usually influenced by exhibitions, gallery shows, publisher promotion, and worldwide online exposure.

Individual originals can be part of a series where the artist is following a theme and creating a lasting body of work.

The artist may use the unique original image to create a portfolio of prints, or licence the image for other use such as cards or calendars.

The original painting, also know as the ‘master’, can become highly prized as it gets more licensed exposure.

Image copyright protection with Original Art Registration number is issued by The Fine Art Trade Guild in London UK.

*** AFFORDABLE ***

The value of original paintings is determined by gallery, on-line, or auction sales, and can continue to grow as the artist matures, and after the artists death.

Art lovers who collect original paintings ‘direct from artist’ can insure the work for the genuine direct replacement cost and avoid insurance company quibbles.
